The Small Grains Crop Provisions were revised to expand revenue coverage to oats and rye, matching available coverage for barley and wheat. The changes for spring oats will become effective for the 2023 and succeeding crop years, and for winter oats and rye, the changes will become effective for the 2024 and succeeding crop years.

In addition, the Processing Sweet Corn Crop Provisions were revised to extend the end of the insurance period from September 20 to September 30 in Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. This will allow producers in these states an additional 10 days of coverage, consistent with the existing coverage for producers in Iowa. The changes will be effective for the 2023 and succeeding crop years.
